- Got a hint about a guy named Minsc and how they were gonna hit the counting house. Looks like Orin is pretending to be Jeheira and Minsc is with the Absolute because of it.

Session 09192023
Made it to the entrance. The Devil guy (Raphael) said kill the devil inside. Maybe that's the same guy as Balthazar?
Found a cult of shar doctors clearly insane. Atticus convinced them to basically murder the doctor (who had like 300 health) and didn't have to fight at all.

Shadowheart likes night orchids and can't swim.
- She might've been a follower of Selune when she was young
Session 09012023
We could craft the masterwork weapon now; I think the forge was around the blighted village?
Battled the Hag - They
Brought back Myrina's husband...Maybe we'll see them in Baldur's Gate?
Found some Mimics - They steal weapons on Melee attack
Session 08312023
Ended up killing Nere and completing the quest for the Myconids.
Discovered that his Moon Lantern is broken...How do we get through?
Maybe we keep going into the Adamantine forge, or somehow break through the poison room?
Session 082823
- The next step is to make our way across the Ebonlake.
- Figured out that we needed to free Nere in order to get to Moonrise towers, because we needed a moon lantern to get across the dark
Session 082623
- Settled the Myconid's beef with the Drugurs sorta. Now just finishing up some side quests.
- Found a decent, alternate way to get into the under dark.
- Finished up the quest to pick up the bark from the Sussur Tree in order to forge a mastercraft weapon
Session 082523
- Made some decent headway into the underdark. almost wiped but didn't in the end.
Session 082323
- New quest to basically go through the underdark in order to reach Moonrise towers. First had to clear out the rest of the bandit camp which drained alot of our resources. Not sure if we should long rest again or keep going.
Session 082023
- Finished off the goblin leaders. In particular, taking out the last leader took some work and planning to accomplish in tactician mode.
Session 081823
- Wyll got the punishment from the Patron for not killing Karlach
- Started murking the goblin leaders.
Session 081723
- Found Karlach and turns out she’s not a demon. The followers of Tyr were actually just imitating and instead served Zariel.
Session 081423
- Fought Gnolls. Decided to use more of the Mindflayer's powers to get out of a bad situation
- Discovered a new quest to help save Wyll's father and met the flaming fists, who is someone powerful at Baldur's Gate
- Found a hiding spot for the Zhentarim
- Reference: The Five factions of the Sword Coast
Session 081323
- Something about a hag in the swamp; Seems very dangerous
- Dream where the guardian showed their face and says they're protecting us from turning into Mind Flayers.
- Encouraged us to use our abilities.
- Maybe that means we can basically just go in and exert our authority on the goblin camp
Session 081023
- Might want to take a side quest if we keep dying
- Noticed a Spear of returning I might want in the Goblin Camp
- Halsin nowhere to be found in the camp
